I can't disagree with any of the points already raised. I went in to mine with open eyes, and well versed with the pitfalls, but the chance of a fully kitted out SSL front and rear suspension AND a Brooklands to boot, it was hard to resist.

It's a Jeckyll & Hyde character, a true Hot rod and can make the hairs on your arms raise with emotions. It's also very, very easy to scare yourself finding those limits but equally, a very rewarding experience to get it all right. The sound of the big V6 through sports exhausts is so emotive.

The rev hang issue is present with all of them. No-one has paid anyone to unlock the ECU and get some alternative mapping as far as I'm aware, so the issue isn't perceived to be so much of a problem, which may be why some highlight it, others dismiss it.

The car isn't inherently dangerous, but proves in a very big way exactly why ABS/Traction Control makes so much sense.
